Mic’d up officials has worked for years in the NFL…
To make it less “chaotic” give the VAR people as much as time they need to make a correct decision
Maybe that’s why the process tends to fail? Because the communication is chaotic? And maybe that’s why the communication with fans is so shit and trust has evaporated? Because these people apparently think we are too stupid to keep 5 voices square in our heads.
And don’t get me started on the arrogance of thinking football referees are special little snowflakes that need to be saved from the wrath of 7 billion fans (again, apparently we’re all savage morons), while those rugby lads are basically just talking to 10 people who don’t actually care about the game. Other sports also put a magnifying glass on the referees and people care a lot about the outcomes.
This works fine in rugby. If doing it in football would be “chaotic” then that suggests that football’s VAR room is basically a clowncar.
There’s a very easy way to resolve this.
Yeah, it’s been so chaotic hearing it at the Rugby World Cup, or the Cricket World Cup. Nothing but pure anarchy
